I'm 6'6" so i feel like my options are limited

Didn't you post several fake photos of supposedly you, then a supposed real one? Because the ones I remember seeing was not a 6'6" guy. I'm just saying.....

I think those were of the fake WatsonTiger. I'm still not sure what real Watson looks like.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Some weird **** went down back home, while I was in basic. I'll spoiler since it's sort of personal **** and you may not be interested.

Spoiler

I called home on Christmas day from this church that had adopted us. I talk to my mom and she said everything was fine, but she said she had some news to tell me. She proceeded to tell me that her and my dad were back together and planned to get remarried.

My parents have been divorced for close to 15 ****ing years. They were going to surprise me on graduation, but they decided to let me know ahead of time. My mind was pretty blown. They moved all of my **** for me and everything. They were both here on my grad. weekend and it really wasn't that weird seeing them together. For the first time in a long time, they both actually seemed really happy.

So apprently my sister also moved out and now my parents and sister live on the same street/road less than 1/8th of a mile from each other. So everything back home will be completely different when I get there. I've still been talking to my "ex step dad" now. He's a cool guy and I have no hard feelings at all. He took the divorce reasonably well and everything.

It's just weird as **** knowing how things went down. I left for bootcamp and everything changed.

Anyone else having problems with videos in Chrome? The audio plays just fine, but the video lags like crazy and only shows a few frames per second. I tried updating Flash, restarting the browser, and restarting my computer, but nothing's working. Any ideas?

I don't even know what to say. I mean, are you still on great terms with both of your parents so that you are happy about this? It's good that they seem really happy...isn't it?

Yeah, It's awesome. I call home almost every day and they seem really happy and they were super happy the whole time they were here. My sister also kept telling me how happy they were back home.

My step dad actually helped my sister babysit my nephew, so she could come up for my graduation. So he's taking it well and my niece and nephew still consider him a "paw paw" or grandpa. It's best that everyone be mature about it. It's stupid when families punish children for their own life changing decisions. You can't be selfish in regards to kids.

I told them I was happy about it as long as they thought it was what they wanted and it made them happy. That's really all I've ever cared about.

Chase, you were the glue holding **** together! And you damn well better have gotten that glue at Home Depot!

No really, that is nuts but if all parties are cool with it, or civil about it at least, that's all you can ask for.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Alright guys... Short girls, or tall girls?

Either way is okay, but all else being equal I'd take tall... as long as they're not taller than I am (6'0").

That *may* be the worst comparison thread I've ever seen on this site... and that's saying something, because those types of things tend to pop up on an almost daily basis.

A street fight between Shaq and Strahan? I'd pay a large amount of cash to see that.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Yes! Congrats on the new place, Scott! The above is good advice.

A little more:
--Change your HVAC filters on schedule. They get gross fast and make the system work harder when they are full. You will have less problems and cleaner house air if you do this.
--If you live in a hot area with frequent A/C use, get your a/c checked out and freon topped off at least every other spring. And keep your coils cleaned by hosing them down at least twice during the warm season.
--Keep your kitchen clean to lessen the chances of unwelcome crawlies.
--Put those foam faucet covers on your outside spigots every fall...could save your pipes over the winter.
--PadresFan knows...take a peek at your hot water heater, no matter its age, every so often, make sure there's no water leaking out.
--After a big windstorm, go outside and check your yards for roof shingles, then eyeball your roof for missing shingles.


Have fun!

Yup... I know very well about water heaters. Luckily I have good insurance because the neighbor had water damage inside their condo. I mean... Why wouldn't they have damage?

The insurance company found my tenants to be negligent because "they didn't regularly check the water heater." This was the only way the liability part of the insurance would kick in.

So was I was very happy to be negligent and NOT pay a $1000 deductible.

Re: Off Topic 2014

Seriously Fox Sports 1? I live in Arizona. I want to watch Arizona and Arizona State. I do not care about overtime of some Big East game. Don't tell me it's on Fox Sports 2. Comcast doesn't have that. Don't tell me it's on Fox Sports Go online. It's not. It's just a 30-second delayed version of the stupid Big East overtime game I am suffering through.

SWAT is going to use an old UW dorm that students moved out of over break for training for the rest of the month.



Also we added our 22nd varsity sport at UW which is Women's Sand (Beach) Volleyball.
